The Baltimore Evening News quot- ed what {t considered reliable infor- mation to the effect that a cargo of holiday Mquor had been landed dur- ing the night on Miller Island, 10 miles from the city limits of Balti- more, from a speedboat which slip- ped around Cape Charles and up the more,than 200-mile stretch of Chesapeake bay. At Miller Island. the Evening News related, repre- sentatives of 14 boo‘$eqgers wel- comed the rum craft and purchased its cargo in less than an hour, the boat being underway on the return trip to the fleet before dawn. At a point near Ocean City, the Salisbury (Md) Evening Times sald its investigators had determined that six truck loads of liquor had been landed, apparently destined for Phil- adelphia, Amas Trees Sold - by Center Street Filling Station} One doesn’t often associate Christ- mas trees with filling stations but Henry Simmons, proprietor of the THE CASPER TRIBUNE-HERALD ALCOVO PROVEGT ENDORSED BY (Continued From Page One) recommend the organization of a State Taxpayers league which shall have branches in every county and city of the state, to which every tax- payer shall be eligible and before which the financial methods of every governing body ghall be discussed. “We are firmly convinced that the more interest the taxpayers exhibit in the administration of the funds they contribute to the support of government, tre more efficient will the government become. A lively public interest in all the affairs of government, the more efficient will we know of no means better adapt- ed to this purpose than the organi- zation of such an association as is here suggested.« Iv. “That we view with disfavor the measure now pending before the federal congress or soon to be in- troduced there proposing the exten- sion of the boundaries of Yellow- stoné National Park so as to include an area now in the ‘State of Wyo- ming; that the vast amount of land within the confines of this state still in the control of the federal govern- ment naturally Mmits the tax re- sburces of this state; that instead of seeking to increase the area un- der the’ control of the federal gov- ernment. it should be the aim of our people to increase the area with- in the jurisdiction of the state and that we respectfully suggest this thought to our representatives in Washington. “The state of Wyoming does not now enjoy the right of taxation of private property within the Yellow- stone Park, although other states within the boundaries of which na- tional parks have been created have this right. If it be true that the fed- COUNTY OFFICERS OF WYOMING eral government has the right to extend the boundaries of Yellow- stone Park regardless of the desires of the people of Wyoming; it is our conviction that any extension meas- ure should contain a provision ex- pressly recognizing the right of the state of Wyoming and Its proper sub-divisions to tax private property within the park. Vs: “The of] and gas resources of this state have been productive of vast returns to the federal government. ‘The royalties pald on ofl and gas de- veloped in this state far exceed those paid to the United States by any other state, but it will be only a matter of time when inevitably these wonderful resources shall be ex- hausted. We believe that the funds which are now being derived by the federal government from the wealth of this state should be used for the creation of other resources to take the place of the mineral deposits as they are depleted. “To this end, we beYeve that all of the funds derived Fy the federal government from oll and gas royal tes in Wyoming and covered into the United States reclamation fund shall be employed in the State of Wyoming for the development of reclamation projects in this state. Particularly dq we call attention to the Casper-Alcova project located in Natrona county which by reason of the great Salt Creek oil field has been the source of tremendous revenue to the federal government. We therefore most earnestly rec- ommend to our representatives at Washington that every possible ef- fort be made to encourage the use of federal royalties derived from mineral resources in this state for the development of reclamation in this state.” Washington, D. C., Dec. 10, 1925— “Wyoming {s proud of its petticoat government,” says a writer in the Washington Star. Evidently he knows. At any rate, petticoat gov- ernment {is coming in for a large amount of criticism throughout this 'y, due to the mud_ dle “Ma" Ferfguson brought upon herself down in Texas. But it should be a matter of gratl- fication to Wyoming that In very few instances has the criticism of Goy. Ross been anything but com- plimentary. For some reason or other, the press of the country has not accorded the Texan governor the respect it has our own executive. It has never been “Ma” Ross but “Wyoming's lttle lady governor"— which alone is significant. <A writer for the Consolidated Press concludes a comparison of the two women with these words: “Governor Ferguson, with a husband at her side to advise her, may not be getting along very well—but Governor Ross, with only the memory of a husband to gupport her is getting along swimmingly, her friends assert.” A reclamation conference of more than passing interest has been‘called by the Secretary of the Interior. It will be held fn this city on December 15, and will be presided over by Dr. Elwood Meade, head of the reclama- tion service. The conference is held to arouse interest in reclamation projects, and ts open to the public, invitations having been extended to farm boards and agricultural so- cleties. Sen. Kendrick will be the principal speaker on this occasion, and it {s also probable that State Engineer Emerson, of Wyoming, will address, the conference. J. L.

Besides mak- ing this extensive group, the council will seek other nations’ views for in corporation {n the conimission’s delberations. The United States and other nations also are asked to answer a questionnaire on methods to control the private manufacture of arms which hitherto has been treated as a special phase of disarm- ament work, When the commission meets Febr- uary 16 in Geneva, it will have to consider mapping a program which will include such topics as compari- sons between offensive and defen- sive armaments, the differences be- tween civil and military aytation, the effect of security arrangements on regional disarmament, vulnera- bility of frontiers, population; re- sources, geographical position, time required for conversion of peace armaments Into war armaments and kindred subjects. POULTRY SHOW MARKS EPOCH IN DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY (Continued From Page One) year's show must have larger quar- ters, it has already been established. The benefits to be derived are man- ifold, according to Mr. Summers, who asserted ‘hat nothiig could take the place of the s’:ow in bringing the producer and consumer together. The extension department of the univer- sity stands ready to assist growers at all times‘but finds better contact in helping with exhibition work than any other means, ‘That no prospect of surplus pro- duction exists and could be easily remedied through an educational pro- gram to stimulate consumption, was another point made by Mr. Summers in forecasting continued growth for the Industry. “It eggs and poultry were adver- tised as rafsins and other fruits,” he sald, “immense demand could be stimulated. ‘We read that raisins are healthful and necessary as an “tron food.” One egg’ contains more fron than two or three pounds of raisins.” The pure seed division of the state show was no less striking than the poultry. The fine crop year exper- ignced in Wyoming was reflected in exhibits from every section. Irrl- gated and dry land products vied for first honors. Notable among the exhibits was the display assembled by the Alfalfa Club of Worland, which carried off four sweepstakes and numerous in- dividual awards. No more complete testimony to the amazing growth of agriculture in the Big Horn Basin could have been asked.
